Dogs at Football

Could it catch on? Would boost attendances. Only saying because a woman in the AC Stand had her pooch with her today.

    Interesting, was it a support dog or a lap dog?

    Wonder how she got in, if I knew I could take my dog it might encourage me to go more.
  • Wasn't a support dog. Was a small Pekinese type dog which she appeared to hold the whole time. 
  • We could try having a special dog area. Not sure my dog, JJ, would appreciate the football but not sure I do either.

    I'll second that. Whatever next? A dog in the cinema? In restaurants?

    If it wasn't a support dog then how the hell was it allowed in?

    Lol. It would make the ground really noisy if we had one stand full of dogs with a few cats and rabbits thrown in.

    If you were there that was two dogs in the ground then.

    Might attract a yank or an Aussie to buy our club

    Dogs can and do frequent both of these places. As a dog owner of 2 Dachshunds with separation anxiety, having dog friendly businesses is essential to my way of life.

    Dogs are allowed at non League football, if they are well behaved and are on the lead, why shouldn't they be allowed to league football too?

  • Ryanair flight back to Cork last weekend.
    Beautiful guide dog. Impeccably behaved. Stole everyone’s hearts.
    I’d love a bring your dog to the Valley day 😎😊

    Who decides if they are ‘well behaved’ ?
    is there a form they have to fill out?

    what about the safety aspect of trying to evacuate the stadium whilst trying to avoid tripping over a dog around your feet. 

    What about the already small leg room?

    does the dog’s separation anxiety trump the person in the next seats nearness anxiety?

    My dog Bertie hates football, always goes and sits in the garden when its on telly.

    You're a dog owner so I'd expect you to say that.

    Many people don't own dogs. Do you never wonder why that may be?

    Because they are arseholes.



    Next.
  • But I wouldn't bring my dog into a football stadium, for her wellbeing. Too much noise, too many angry-sounding men, not enough room.

    Would much rather sit next to a person with a dog than a coked up wazzock from Dartford

    The exact same points can be said of children, we let them into the stadiums, isn't that a tripping risk?

    Must have stuffed it in her handbag at the turnstile.
  • Perhaps it was there as the cheaper option to scare off the pigeons given our prospect owners think we can streamline operating costs. 😉


  • Dogs attending could be fine, if well behaved. Owners who can’t control their dogs. (Of which there are loads) shouldn’t be.  

    Plus when we get back to the Premier League, all these poor dogs that have barked through the bad times on the journey there won’t be able to come anymore due to capacity. It’s not really fair on them. 
  • It was amazing last year in Italy, how many places dogs were allowed in. We always asked and the reaction was suprise we were asking. Here is JJ in a dog supermarket trolley. He was quite happy with his purchases.

  • I put together a proposal a while back for a dog socialising event at The Valley which would have allowed supporters to bring their dogs to the ground and have them run about the pitch etc... also giving their owners the chance to walk the hallowed turf as a nice little bonus. 
    (It would have taken place after the season and just before the summer pitch renovations began, of course.)
    From a media content point of view, that sort of thing would have been a big winner as any content involving dogs (and pets in general) always proved very popular on our social channels. 
    I never did get a reply from the SMT...
    Probably because their insurance would have taken a hit, dog training/social meetings should have liability insurance.
